New Construction Updates

Building for our Future

Gilbert Schools could not be more excited about the future of the district. With 83 percent community support for our bond referendum in November of 2023, we are thrilled to be moving forward with new facilities throughout the district over the next few years.

Elementary School

Gilbert Schools held its official ground breaking ceremony at the site of its new elementary building in early September of 2024.

The new Gilbert Elementary is scheduled to be completed in late spring or early summer of 2026 with the goal of opening to students at the start of the 2026-27 school year.

CMBA Architects designed the new Gilbert Elementary, and Denovo is serving as the construction manager for the project.

The ground breaking symbolizes the future of Gilbert Schools. By having community members and kindergartners there, it represented building on our rich history while also building into the future for generations to come.

Middle School

In the spring of 2024, construction began on a new secured entrance at Gilbert Middle School. The project was completed in early November of 2024.

The new secured entrance allows school staff to vet all visitors prior to granting them access to the building. It also includes several new offices.
